Karen Lev (Leholm) Messersmith was born May 29, 1936, in Tioga, to Sigurd and Jorgine Leholm. She was such a beautiful person both inside and out and was loved by many. Karen and Robert made their home in Tioga in 1974. Karen's love was her husband, children, grandchildren and great-grandson, Ashton. She also loved working in her garden and planting flowers. Karen made the most beautiful flower arrangements with silk flowers. She worked at Tioga Medical Center as a prep cook for around 25 years and made the world's BEST Rice Krispie bars.

Karen will be missed, but our memories of her will keep her alive forever. What a beautiful angel. May you rest in peace, Mom. We'll love you forever.
